Yesterday, ABI completed the merger of Diblo (the holding company for Modelo’s operating subsidiaries) and Dirección de Fábricas (a local glass bottle manufacturer largely dedicated to Modelo) into Modelo’s operations.

ABI also announced that once its deal for all of Modelo is complete (closing is expected in June), Mexico will become its seventh regional zone. Operations there will be led by zone president Ricardo Tadeu, who is currently ABI’s business unit president for Brazil.

Modelo is Mexico’s largest brewer, with a market share of 57%, according to Impact Databank.
